So this usually happens when I try to see archived threads on 4chan, but I see this happen in other places too. What is it and what can I do to get rid of it? I use a Nexus 7(2013 tablet) with Marshmallow in it.

this fucking guy

What?

It's fake, just close the tab.

>>54383966
How do you even manage to get a virus, let along 13, on your phone. I don't even want to know what a real desktop would be like for you. Click the remove button and don't post here again.
>>
>>54383896
Use a browser with some sort of add block

>>54383981
I know, that is what I did. But why does this happen when I see archived threads? Any idea?
>>
>>54384008
IDK, if it continues backup and reset your tablet.
>>
>>54384008
hiroshimoot is advertising on archived threads and accepting sketchy networks because it's not like he can get adsense. Don't browse on mobile.
>>
>>54384008
link to one of the sites?
>>
>>54384021
>Don't browse on mobile.
Use an ad blocker, I don't see these.
>>
>>54384021
Yeah, the thing is that my tablet is the only way I can connect online. Thanks though, it does make sense why that is the cause.
>>54384028
Eh, it happens a lot of you see archived /gif/threads.
>>
>>54384031
I was hoping he would stop posting entirely, and also all of the other mobile-only users
>>
Anyway, thanks to the few that gave me helpful advice, but now my tablet malfuctioned again. Its stuck in booting up and can't I do anything about it. Where the micro usb is in the tablet got damaged a few months back, so there is no remote way to download all of the saved images I accumulated from 4chan since last year.

Whelp, there goes over 13,000 images I can never get back.

Samsung phone. And now the tablet is showing this.
>>
>>54384680
And no menus?
If it does show menus you can move through them with the volume keys and select with the power button

Is everyone in the thread retarded?
>>54384758
Until nothing.
It's a website with a counter, it might try to vibrate the phone or play something over the speaker but it's still just a website! Just close the close the tab or close the app!
>>
Well, I was able to talk to a local shop that supposedly fixes devices. I just want to at least get all of my photos and downloaded pic back.

So, how do i explain to the guys about all of the lewd pics i have in it? I got stuff from /v/, /co/, /gif/, /b/, and so on.

Man, what an awful day.
>>
>>54384851
I think the guy is just shitposting and giving OP a hard time.
>>
>>54385011
I can help you but give me a reason why I should.
>>
>>54385011
They don't give a shit what you have on your device. You give them money they do shit for you.
>>54384464
How do you charge it if you've no usb?
When don't you try to fix it, what's damaged?
>>
>>54383896
Install ublock origin and see if that makes that website not show up.
>>
>>54385100
Well, i'll try:
-It's my main way to use the Internet to check on my bank account, email, job, and for entertaintment
-I can't afford a pc because I have a low minimum wage job and most of my income goes to groceries for my family and payments such as car payment, insurance, doctor's bills, cell phone bills, loans/give out to my mom for any bills she needs help paying
-The tablet has over 13,000 files that i have accumulated since last year, with 80% of them worth sentimential value to me, from people that no longer post on this site or anywhere in the internet anymore
-the charging port stopped working since August 2015 (which made me buy a wireless charging port for the tablet), meaning I can't just connect my tablet to a computer and copy my files

Look, all I want is to at least get the files back and put them in a usb stick or something. Please?

Also, I don't know how its damaged. I just turned it off and the on again, and it just got stuck in the boot up screen.

Also, I am not tech savvy enough nor do I have the tools and equipment to fix it.
>>
>>54385426
Does it have a micro SD card? If it does you can just remove that and put it into another tablet/phone and get all your data
>>
>>54385426
I'd say the best bet is just to turn it of and on a few times. Maybe leave it on/stuck on boot til the battery dies then full charge it.
>>54385356
Nice
>>
>>54385426
Is the use physically damaged like bent?
Holding the volume up and power should launch fast boot mode. Google how to use ADB and fastboot and you might be able access files that way
>>
>>54385330
I can probably get it to start up but you will most likely lose all your files. How did it even just "malfunction" all of a sudden and get stuck in a bootloop?
>>
>>54385492
No, the Nexus 7 models don't have a sd card. They are only internal memory.

>>54385510
I guess I'll try that. And thanks, wasn't a cheap thing to get, sadly.
>>54385552
I don't know how it happened. I remember that one day I just woke up and tablet was on the floor. Only wat i could charge it for a while was thru holding the usb cable at an angle, and then that stopped working, which forced me to buy a wireless charger.

>>54385562
The tablet froze earlier. It has been having problems for a while now, and when it froze, the best way to make it work was to turn it off and turn it back on. This time it seems it made it worse.

Most of the time I use my tablet to browse 4chan and use YouTube on it, so it can't be a virus.
>>
You can't get the files back you killed it.

If you unlock the bootloader to reflash it it will wipe the phone.
>>
Sorry OP but it is too late. This is a very advanced form of firmware rootkit that will persist no matter what you do. Your only option now is to trash the phone and buy a new one, because once the damage percent goes above 50% your battery will explode.
>>
>>54385812
>Most of the time I use my tablet to browse 4chan and use YouTube on it, so it can't be a virus.
If you're sure it's not a software problem then I'm not going to waste my time, just buy a new one or get it fixed from the shop you were talking about. Either way, unless you can get it to start up and escape the bootloop by itself -- which I don't think will happen -- you're most likely not getting your data back.
>>
Looked it up and there is a video with a guy that has the same problem as I do. https://youtu.be/BsDElKLoMV0

The comments section says to hit the tablet, but fuck, I don't want to make it worse.
>>
>>54385959
Well, thanks anyway for the advice.

To eveyone else that actually tried to help, thank you too. I woll try tomorrow with the repair place.
